American swear words are so not a big deal in Japan. When I was at Tokyo Disney Sea I was walking around and an old Nelly (anyone remember him?) came on the speakers and I remember distinctly that I was trying to listen to see if they "beeped" the word out or not. They didn't. So the f-word was loud and clear over the speakers in Disneyland, full of kids and no one batted an eyelash. I don't know if the middle finger has any significance to them, though. It might be a North American thing, it might be universal.
